It’s the same everywhere. In the Australian government most directors who hire developers are Indian and seem to have all Indian teams on worker visas. It’s impossible to get a government position now. Last year three government directors were found guilty of hiring subcontinent developers for a fee.

I suppose the Dutch language is good for one thing: nobody can learn it! I've seen Germans (oh it's just a dialect) break down into tears trying. And it has absolutely no use whatsoever abroad.

German here, can confirm. Dutch sounds like weird German, and as a German you can usually read it, but speaking Dutch is an entirely different thing.

Indians are hired because the wages they ask are much lower. Do you agree that this benefits citizens of Australia too? Australia has a small population, it can not develop a work force with specialised skills. If it could, then the wages asked by its citizens would be much higher, and these costs would be passed to the regular citizen.
